Insider tips

Bring a portable phone charger, as active use of location apps and photography in the salt air drains batteries quickly.

Wear comfortable, non-slip footwear suitable for walking on sandy, uneven ground.

What to avoid

Attempting to find parking directly on the Grand Parade during busy bank holiday weekends; use the surrounding public car parks instead.
